Life

Abram Lufer began his musical training at the Kiev Music School with Professor Grigori Beklemischew and completed his studies in 1925. He then enrolled at the Lyssenko Music Institute in Kiev. There he graduated with honors in 1928. He then began to teach piano himself at this institute. From 1929 he was head of the piano department.

In addition to his teaching activity, Lufer worked on a stage career in the Ukraine from 1929. In 1930 he received first prize at the All-Ukrainian Piano Competition in Kharkov . Two years later (1932) he won 4th prize at the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw. He won this award as a result of a tie on points. He had the same number of points as the third-placed Bolesław Kon . He “lost” in a drawing of lots and was thus classified as the fourth prize winner. At that time, the competition rules did not allow a shared third place.

The main romantics Robert Schumann , Franz Liszt and Frédéric Chopin were at the center of Lufer's repertoire . He also advocated the works of modern composers, especially Ukrainian contemporaries such as Viktor Kossenko , Borys Lyatoschynskyj and Levko Rewuzkyj .

In 1934, Lufer was entrusted with reforming music education in Kiev. Within this, several musical educational institutions were integrated into the conservatory . A year later he received the title of Conservatory Professor. Between 1941 and 1944 he was director of the conservatory in Sverdlovsk and director of the piano department.

After the war, Lufer returned to Kiev, where he became director of the conservatory. He held this position until his death in 1948. In addition to his positions at various music schools, he was a soloist with the Kiev Philharmonic and Radio Kiev from 1930 to 1941 and 1944 to 1946 . He was buried in the Baikowe Cemetery in Kiev.

Tatjana Iossifowna Goldfarb , winner of the 1937 Chopin Competition, was one of Lofer’s numerous students .
